Early Iraq pull-out ?
Washington - US lawmakers Monday agreed on legislation that could start bringing troops home from Iraq as early as July 1 and would complete the pullout by March 31, 2008, setting up a veto showdown with President George W Bush.
Whilst intentions in some US/UK quarters were good, faulty planning and plans for the present situation, which I and others mentioned the possibility of well in advance of the US/UK Iraq war could lead to an early pull out. Better advance preparation of the war was needed. Most people asumed the US could have coped with the present war somehow, but the US did not.
IMO: Yes, it is likely to be the ''ol cut and run' option. At least India had more sense than to be involved.
